Question

Why do covalently bound substances have low melting and boiling points?

Answer 1

Because a very less amount of energy is required to break the weak bonds between covalent compounds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points because they are made up of electrically neutral molecules. So, the force of attraction between the molecules of a covalent compound is very weak.

Explanation:

Only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these weak molecular forces. That is why covalent compound have low melting boiling points.

hope it's help u....
